    Apostrophes aren’t symptoms, they’re easily-corrected mistakes.

    Apostrophes almost never pluralize nouns. So if you’re talking about more than one of something, you almost never need to add an apostrophe to make it plural.

    Knowledge is power. Being neurodiverse doesn’t change that.

      Thanks otp, unfortunately I struggle to read text on lemmy coloured backgrounds. Writing is also just going to unavoidably foil me sometimes. Please bear in mind, the way written language developed is neurotypical, and so not how my brain is wired. If everyone’s brain was wired like me, written language would have developed differently. It isn’t as simple as learning linguistic rules… if it was, I’d have done that years ago.
